The art was inspired by photos by Ari Seth Cohen who takes photos of the older generation who he discovers on the streets of New York. I found great character in these photos and interpreted this as you see in the artwork: http://www.sarapope.co.uk/.

What is “Monsters & Fairies”?

Save’s “Monsters And Fairies” is an abandoned hotel room located somewhere between England and Spain. It’s real for some while for others it’s just a fantasy. Who knows?

Who was the first person who listened to the completed release?

Zsa Zsa Sapien of Meat Raffle. Peasant Vitality always play their test pressings on his hi-fi as it is second to none.

Some cool moments while you were releasing “Monsters & Fairies”?

So far there have been many great moments, the whole project has exceeded our initial expectations in terms of who would have gotten and played it. Hearing Marc Pinol play it on his Boiler Room set at Primavera and having Spin Magazine list it as one of the Top Best Things of Primavera was a great moment worth mentioning. We just want to thank everyone that has been supporting us and playing the record, every time we see or hear this it is a great moment. Thank you.
